Why create this blog?

Over the past few years it has become apparent to me that people crave something more than anything else in life.
FREEDOM!
Although we may associate this word with pictures in our minds of a blue faced Mel Gibson, essentially we will seek it as human beings. We do it in several ways.... Wagging school, Cutting out early from work, or simply not showing up at all by taking the famous "sicky". In one way or another we grasp for it.
I've come across two things that help you achieve this type of freedom that we seek, if only for a brief few hours at a time.
Practitioners of these two things have reported feeling a euphoria when participating in these acts, and many around the world today have become one of the millions who fall under the banner of being "Hooked".
1. Surfing- Many who ride waves describe a state in which they are one with their surroundings. They are one with the elemental forces of mother nature and they are returning to a place where they are simply vibrating molecules , just like the ocean. They are tapping into a universal energy source that  has built up over thousands of miles and allows them to go with it for a few precious moments. This stoke that people feel has been likened to the "force" , or the closest thing we can come to it( for now at least) and is scientifically explained by increasing the charge of ions in our bodies that can only be achieved by large moving bodies of water.
When you are a surfer, you are one for life.
2. Jiu Jitsu- Jiu Jitsu is an art that can, and is bringing people from all parts of life together. Whether you are a ceo of a major corporation or an unemployed student, if you are black or white or you simply don't speak the same language, Jiu Jitsu will bring you together  on the mats. It speaks a universal language of respect for your teammate or your opponent, who in the end is your brother or sister as we are all one in this universe. We are made from the same matter, embrace that and break down barriers while improving as a member of the human race.
Enjoy the posts and videos to come , they will inspire you to become great!
